A friend and I booked "Arctic Road Trip from Tromso" with Wandering Owl, as we had a day to fill while waiting to go on an evening aurora tour and wanted to see more of the area than just Tromso. Bart was a great guide and made every effort to take us to some great spots for views, photos, and different landscapes. I was very comfortable with his driving and appreciated the info he shared about the area at each stop. He gave us plenty of time for photos but also kept the tour moving along to maximize our experience. He got us away from the "big bus" tour stops as soon as possible, which we appreciated. This was a great way to see more of the area but also have enough time to relax a little and transition to going on an evening aurora tour. At some stops you could walk further out on hard-pack snow, so if you're not accustomed to or comfortable with slippery surfaces, YakTrax/"spikes" might be helpful. Thank you, Bart!!! ~ Toshi (and Liz)

My wife and I really enjoyed the tour from the beginning till the end. The driver and guide was there on time and he was so friendly and knowledgeable about each one of the places we visited. The views of the landscapes, islands, and coastal beaches were outstanding. The guide took us to the best places along the route and the photographs he took were amazing. The picnic we had on the beach was so healthy and delicious and the hot drinks kept us warm. The guide was spectacular. I highly recommend this tour when you come to Tromso.

A huge thank you to Max and Wandering Owl for organizing such a wonderful tour! The itinerary was absolutely breathtaking. We were treated to stunning views, made even more magical by the ever-changing colors and shades in the sky. The landscapes, with their blend of water and mountains, felt even more special under the unique light. Max shared fascinating insights about the region and Norwegian culture, along with bonus tips about the northern lights, which truly enriched the experience. His kindness and thoughtfulness made sure everyone felt comfortable and at ease throughout the activity. Plus, he captured some beautiful photos for us to cherish as memories of this unforgettable adventure. We enjoyed a lovely picnic on the beach, complete with delicious homemade sandwiches and hot drinks that kept us warm. Everything was perfect, and I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly! It's the best way to experience and truly appreciate the beauty of Norwegian nature. A heartfelt thank you to Max for his passion. It’s amazing to be guided by someone whose heart and soul are deeply connected to the mountains and fjords.

Max was an excellent guide. He is a biologist and shared interesting facts about the island. He was witty and funny making the four hour trip highly entertaining. We had some white out conditions and max kept searching for locations with breaks in the weather. Was perfect to learn and explore the island.
